However, many messages are showing up in Sans-serif which is set to
Arial.
Anyone else seeing this? This is a fresh profile and a fresh install of
SeaMonkey.
Check your prefs again.
Monospace can be set to different fonts for different encodings, so for
example you can have Monospace = Arial for Unicode but Monospace =
Courier New for Western.
The point is that if incoming messages have different encodings,
SeaMonkey will obey your different instructions for each.
Paul, appreciate your reply. However, it's not helpful. You tell me to
check my settings. I detailed them in my OP. And you had nothing
specific to say about that which might help.
Actually, it is helpful if you fully understand it. Let's try again.
In the dialog at Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Fonts, you'll see
something like this:
Fonts for: [Western]
...
Monospace: [Courier New]
Now, if you pull down the list from [Western], you'll see lots of other
encodings. Let's choose [Unicode] for example:
Fonts for: [Unicode]
...
Monospace: [Arial Unicode MS]
Clearly, a Unicode-encoded message will display in a different font from
a Western-encoded message, just as you instructed.
